The development of academic skills is dependent on the visual system.

Reading, writing, mathematics and other cognitive skills are precursors to higher-level cognitive abilities. Delays in the development of various visual functions have a significant impact on a child’s ability to reach their academic potential, and results in emotional, attentional and behavioral problems when left undiagnosed and untreated.

Patients who have suffered closed head trauma are likely to develop acquired vision disorders. Patients who have not resolved their vision problems can experience significant difficulties in their rehabilitation, as they often have difficulty with movement, balance, and thinking.

Learn about the different types of vision impairments that often affect schoolchildren.-age child and acquired vision deficits in the TBI population.

As well as the symptoms, you will also learn about easy ways to recognize vision problems.-To-Implement screening strategies. These screening strategies can be implemented using lenses, prisms, and vision therapy services. Case studies that show the importance of a multidisciplinary approach for helping children with learning difficulties and adults recovering after trauma will also be discussed. Hands-on demonstrations allow you to synthesize the impact of vision disorders on the total human system and experience how vision therapy can help direct and guide the visual development/rehabilitation process.
